Gentlemen, start your engines and make sure you have enough weapons on board your ride with you as “Mad Max: Fury Road”. This is the fourth film in the “Mad Max” franchise and comes care of George Miller (director, producer, co-writer) and will be the first film to present this character in about thirty years. Check out the poster, premise and cast and then we can chat a little on it.

The Premise: The film is set in a future desert wasteland where gasoline and water are scarce commodities. When cult leader Immortan Joe sends Imperator Furiosa off in an armored tanker truck to collect gasoline, he sees her drive significantly off route. Joe sends his entire army in pursuit of her, which leads to a lengthy road battle, which sees one of Joe’s captives, Max, joining forces with Furiosa.Continue reading Opening Today: “Mad Max: Fury Road” (5/15/2015)→

“In space no one can hear you Prequel…..” 🙂 Sorry I cannot resist sometimes but if I understand this whole story properly, “Prometheus” is a prequel of sorts to the scary space happenings that we all experienced in the “Alien” franchise and it opens today. Here is the poster.

According to the film’s official Wiki “Prometheus is a 2012 British science fiction film directed by Ridley Scott, written by Jon Spaihts and Damon Lindelof. The cast is listed below for your examination. It is set in the late 21st century and centers on the crew of the spaceship Prometheus as it follows a star map discovered among the artifacts of several ancient Earth cultures. Seeking the origins of humanity, the crew arrives on a distant world and discovers a threat that could cause the extinction of the human race.”

Does the idea of an “origin story” of sorts about the “Alien” stuff excite you? Will you see this film in the theaters or just do the rental and streaming stuff? I admit that I am on the fence even though I saw the trailer when I went to see “Marvel’s The Avengers”. It looks to be beautifully shot but I might wait to see what some of my diehard film buddies say about it before I drop the cash at the ticket window.
